a story from a email

Hello everyone,I received this in the mail and would like you all to have it!
The DIFFERENCE

Science and God

'Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ.' The atheistprofessor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.

'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,' the student says.

'So you believe in God?'

'Absolutely.'

'Is God good?'

'Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes.'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for amoment.

'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?'

'Yes sir, I would.'

'So you're good....!'

'I wouldn't say that.'

'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person ifyou could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him how is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?'

The student remains silent.

'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. He takes a sip ofwater from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

'Let's start again, young fella Is God good?'

'Er...yes,' the student says.

'Is Satan good?'

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'

'Then where does Satan come from?'

The student : 'From...God...'

'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'

'Yes, sir.'

'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?'

'Yes.'

'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'

Without allowing the student to answer, the professor continues: 'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'

The student: 'Yes.'

'So who created them?'

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. 'Who created them? There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized.

'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?'

The student's voice is confident: 'Yes, professor, I do.'

The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?'

'No sir. I've never seen Him'

'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'

'No, sir, I have not.'

'Have you ever actually felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?'

'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.'

'Yet you still believe in him?'

'Yes.'

'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?'

'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my faith.'

'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of his own. 'Professor, is there such thing as heat?'

'Yes,' the professor replies. 'There's heat.'

'And is there such a thing as cold?'

'Yes, son, there's cold too.'

'No sir, there isn't.'

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.

'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat.You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom,sounding like a hammer.

'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?'

'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if it isn't darkness?'

'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have Nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making, young man?'

'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.'

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. 'Flawed? Can you explain how?'

'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student explains. 'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.'

'Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?'

'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do'

'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?'

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided.

'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.'

The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out into laughter.

'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelled the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?'

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable.

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I guess you'll have to take them on faith.'

'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith existswith life,' the student continues. 'Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?'

Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world.These manifestations are nothing else but evil.'

To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.'

The professor sat down.

Pass this on if you have faith in God. If not, still pass it on for it's a good story!-- I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. - C. S. Lewis
God Bless You!

Good Friday



This post is dedicated to Jesus, I want to thank the lord for dying for my sins 2008 years ago! Thank God for paying the price for me! He is really my bestie, king, lover, and forever my daddy! You rock Jesus! Loves loves loves, muaaaacks!
i had been sining the whole week. Addiction to the computer made me forgot my daily quiet time with God.
yes! i need repention! believe it anot, i didnt wholeheartedly prayed. every day is like first thing i do when i wake up in the holidays is turn on the computer.
while waiting for the computer to "wake up" i will brush my teeth etc. and the whole day sitting in front of the computer gaming. I FORGOT MY MORNING PRAYER!!!
" whole day on the computer? why didnt i spent the whole day worshipping God? "
i decided to write this post NOT TO TELL YOU HOW LAZY I AM DURING THE ONE WEEK HOLIDAYS. just read on.
i was having my tuition when those BIG FLYING ANTS started buzzing around the light with is hanging down slightly above my head. i didnt realised it until one landed on my maths book and i screammmed! i am damn scared of it. WHAT A PEST!
After that, i was damn pissed off coz the ants keep dropping down on my book and me. so i took a bowl, filled it up with water, and held it near the light. Then the flying pest fly fly fly and PLOPPED! right in to the water and suddenly, my tuition teacher said " Good! one down! " we are damn happy when we got all the ants down. well, sort of.
during the rest of my tuition, i wasn't really listening. i was staring at those ant. it struggled so much to get out of the water but it cant. its wings are stucked to the the tension of water. (?)
I felt God telling me this " child, do you want to be like the ants? are you going to let your friends like like the ants?"

flying ants = human beings
me = Satan helper (i am not but this is just an example)
tuition teacher = Satan
bowl with water = temptation/hell
it came up to me that human are always tempted to do something they didn't see or do before.
we fell into the hell unknowly and unable to get out. no matter how much they struggled to get out, they never will. they cant!
God will be the one who will saved us before we could even go near temptation. but, the choice is still ours. once we are in hell, NO ONE CAN SAVE US. NOT EVEN GOD! we are there FOREVER!
of coz. when we fall into hell, who would be happy? SATAN AND HIS HELPERS.
save ur friends. GO! if u're really their friends, GO SAVE THEM!

this is true story. i didnt make this up!

believe, have faith in God

hey qigebage, i just can't wait to share this testimony with you peeps, God is really good!

remember there was a time i asked you people to pray for two of my ones, a prodigal and a pre-believer who had bad experiences at churches? perhaps you don't, but i definitely do. be assured that God answers prayers, He is always there, listening to you, watching and examining you from up above! HE ANSWERED MINE!

The first one was one I had been praying for since '03. YES, 5 years(time flies?) She is a darl, very close to me, one that has been with me through a lot. and yes, she believed in God. so yeah, she went to church with her family... that was until God brought her earthly father back home. it was a difficult time, but God is always good, providing for even the sparrows that we don't really care to think about. time passed, and she stopped going to church and started walking away. 'oh, im too busy', 'i have tuition leh', 'no time, must finish homework', 'i want to sleep, it's the weekends!', 'aiya, not important, church can always go but then PSLE is big exam, must study' 5 years past, but God definitely did not forget her, His beloved child. on the 8th of March this year, she rededicated her life to Christ. PRAISE THE LORD! it's really, seriously, super duper encouraging to see her so passionate and on fire for GOD again! How great is our God!

Now to the second one:D haha, this one is also a darl, definitely. she is one who has not accepted Christ yet, but will, because God has assured me. in the past, she went to church as a prebeliever to not one, but various churches but did not receive Christ as her personal Lord and Saviour. why? she felt left out, excluded. you may say, 'let's extend _ a warm welcome into the family of Christ!', but in actions, not extend a warm welcome at all, but a reluctant('like so extra lah!), fake smile like 'oh hello!' *smile* and next thing, you're back to stone mode with your clique, your group, like 'oh, this is my group, we only hang out with ourselves'. how inclusive indeed. that's why it's important to be inclusive, like really, inclusive. not oh, uh, you're weird~ i don't know you, don't hang out around here, it's our grounds, our territory, rwar. so, really thank God lah, finally, she went to one of my friends' church (though not VFC) recently with my friend. after the youth service, i have to say, she was a new person indeed. she changed. the sermon did impact her a lot. she was convicted that she was a lying stealing murderer, she crucified Christ because she was sinful and Christ was flawless, perfect and bore all of her sin and shame and took it all. she confessed she needed God, that without God, she is and would be nothing. also, before that, she began reading the Bible, getting addicted to reading it (wow! spiritual food, yummy). so now, im still praying for her to accept Jesus as her personal Lord and Saviour, to let God be the no.1 in her life as she hasnt yet, perhaps because she's still learning to let go and let God. I am assured, GOD WILL MAKE A WAY! everything is in His hands! He has a plan for every single one! so yeah, THANK YOU, JESUS!

you see, love, really, is eternal. God is love, God is eternal! He will never let you go no matter what! ALL GLORY, HONOUR AND PRAISE TO OUR ALMIGHTY GOD, WHO WAS, IS AND IS TO COME!

ok guys and gals, my mum just came back from a parent-principal conference and i found out that to get good subjects will be very tough this year. Only the top 40 gets to take 8 subjects. And i want to take 8 subjects so i am quite nervous and worried now. Please keep me in your prayers

how great is our God? My God is the greatest. I LOVE YOU, JESUS!

Have i told, you lately, that i love you?

Have i told you baby, that i do??
You filled my heart with GLADness (<-- yea yea :s Filled my heart with GLADYS -_-)
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles yes thats wat you do.....

XD its an old song with duh lyrics..however, its been a reminder for me about my God! Recently......

It begins on one night while i was in my room. This song then came up to my head. Personally, i kinda like the first line. I thought of how i would say it to someone whom i'd loved ( O you know -_- future plans bout how to do sweet things to ur wife :P i gata have some tricks up my sleeve!)
Then i heard God spoke to me "Son, when was the last time YOU told me that??"
I think... and i Thought HARD...-_- REAL HARD....i cant remember honestly :/
i will ALWAYS tell Jesus how much i love him everynight b4 i sleep when i was younger. Recently, its been so little that cant remember! I thought God and I have a Love affair!! WHY is it such a big deal? The CORRECT answer is because of the 1st commandment.
Mine is this, Its because i love my Lord and my life is in him, around him and about him. Now, if i Do love my King then why the slackness in the expression?
I repented because i took him for granted.

My beloveds, i post this so whomever read may remember the LORD. Be not like me who need to repent of depriving love unto our Lord but check ourselves always! that we always give him our utmost affection :) How? well, OTHER than telling him, these are the few general things i've found that kinda guide me to loving God.

John 14:15 Jesus said "If ye love me, keep my commandments." see John 14:21 too
This 2 verse are quite self explanatory yet this is not to be mistaken as works=favor but its a measure of your love. "Obedience over sacrifice" is the phrase. It aint matter how much you do for God ( sacrifices ) but how much you actually obeys him, his word, choosing him over your will. Obeying leaders even when its tough, not going after that guy/girl, talk to that Guy, DO this Do that, is it all God based OR you based? If Jesus is not LORD then his NOT at all! Does ur life show that you love God? when is the last time where God DIRECTED you and you OBEYED? OR situations happen n you do the "Jesus" thing. Your life as a sacrifice unto God. Do you Love Jesus So much as to Obey him? Let not God be near our mouth but far from our hearts.

The other i hold dear is this verse Psalm 25:14 " The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him and he will shew them his covenant." The word "secret" implicates "intimacy". Things that not EVERYONE will know. But God only tells them that fears him. It means by Loving AND fearing God, we draw nearer to him. You maybe familiar with James 4:8 "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you." wonderful promise! means God moves ten steps when u move one towards him! but check out the 2nd part of the verse " Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." God will not tolerate sin nor someone or thing who can competes with his Lordship over ur life. He will have all or nothing. When u sang, Take it all, DO U realise wat it means? Or ur just a Singing Zombie? Let our praises be real unto God and not fake. Sincerity is one thing, but the fruits thereof is obedience unto God, which is the summarised explanation of The fear of the Lord. I take Psalm 25:14 as a reward of my "drawing near to God". My reward? The Lord my King! Jesus^^

These are the certain guidelines i live by to draw near to God. To know how to worship and love him. Yes there is more but i don have space now do i ?? Find out from God yourself ^^ Why is it impt to know HOW to worship him? Look up 1 chronicle 13:7-13. The pips of Israel thought they were doing the right thing! they even dance n praised God wholeheartedly YET they didnt know God wanted specifically that the pips carry the ark of God with poles instead of a cart. In the course of protecting the ark from falling off the cart, a non levite, Uzza was stuck dead by God. God was pissed. From a outside View, God would be blamed yet look! They people of Israel did not FIND OUT what God's way was and didnt do it, Which resulted in them profaning the holy God thus in short, they sinned against him. Think about, Does it apply to you? when you do all the christian things but you dont know God nor his ways? as it shows, ignorance will not save you from Judgement. Be careful beloved, you maybe living a lie of "loving" God when ur not. That is dangerous cos you may miss the rapture.

Lets us remember that we wont be perfect till we see the face of our LORD, so if u have a hiccup on the way, don kill urself. Those who are in sin, know that the fact that ur still alive is the fact that God wants you to get that sin out of you. So that he can bring you to another level with him. :) know that the grace of God will strengthen you to move on and try again. However, know that Grace ( NOT CHONG) do not excuse you from Judgement. The Lord will see your heart and understand, sometimes, you don needa try to put it in words. When i cant describe, i just lean on his chest and rest :) n pout..n cry... sometimes..drool... :/

The question then come, Have you Shown God lately that you love him?
Don limit ur time, let HIM decide when do you exit his presence.
If u dread talking to him, don do it. If u dread reading, don do it. No one's forcing you to love him :)

Jesus loves you dearest.

With love,

Silas of Almighty ( shaddai ).
